Hi again,
I discovered something about clutch bleeding that may be of interest to those who in the past, like me, have had trouble bleeding all the air out.
The slave cylinder sits above the clutch damper. The clutch damper has 2 threaded holes, one for the line from the master cylinder, and one for the connection to the slave cylinder. It is imperative that the line to the slave cylinder is in the top hole, so that air is not trapped in the damper. I found this out as mine was connected upside down and it was nearly impossible to bleed all the air out.
Once connected correctly, no dramas!
Just thought I would share this enlightenment. And yes, I should have taken a photo, sorry

Clutch bleeding is allways a little bit difficult.
Here is my method:
Bleeding as usual, BUT connecting a hose in the bleeding nipple and introducting the other hose end in a flask, over slave cylinder level.
This is very effective.
I try to show the change with this drawing:
The hose brings the fluid more up, avoiding the ingress from air in the upper part from the cylinder as ussually, when fluid drops allowing this.
Regards

if you got a compressor, just go buy a vacum hydraulic bleeder, best 120$ I ever spent. took me 20min to bleed the entire brake system all four corners, about five min to bleed the clutch system on my 95 tdi disco. plus it makes it a one person job. never had a problem bleeding anything now!
